Fatal Accidents at Perryvilie and Havre-
de Grace.
Daniel Hewett, of Perryville, aged
about 60 years, met with a sudden death
about $50 Wednesday morning by the
caviug in of an embankment at that place.
He was employed by the Philadelphia,
Wilmington and Baltimore railroad com.
pany on the gravel train, digging away a
bauk at Perryvlls to fill in deep cut at
Principle, and, it is supposed, the jar
from north bound train passing at the
time caused the bank to give away, strik-
ing him in the breast and killing him in
stantly. MIR. Hewet: was very quiet and
highly respected citizen of Perryville, and
at the time of his death held the office of
town bailitf. He had also been town COM
missioner for several terms. His wife
died about three years ago. and he leaves
six grown daughters and two sons. One
son was killed while attempting to cross

| JAMES c. GALLOWAY.
James C. Galloway, about 35 years old,
who has been employed on the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad in a construction gang
for the past two years, and who resided
at Frenohtown, Cecil county, visited
Havre de Grace early Wednesday morn
ing, and while there became very much
intoxicated. Just as the 9:1S A. NJ. fast
express was pulling out from the Phila-
delphia Wilmington and Baltimore rail-
road station II. Courtney, Jr., the agent,
saw man, who proved to be Galloway,
fall under the cars, apparently having at
tempted to board tie train from the south
side. The train was stopped, but not be-
fore four cars had passed over him. When
picked up it was found that his right leg
and arm had been entirely severed from
his body, and large hole knocked in his
left side, and his head badly mashed.
Drs- Smith and Cochran We're immedi-
ately summoned, and had the man re-
moved to Freuchtown, where every effort
was made to save life, but without avail.
He died at one o'clock. Galloway was a
native of Kentucky, where his people re-
side, and came here three years ago to
work on the new Baltimore and Ohio

KICKERS AT THE BAT.

The equalization board is having picnic
with the people who call on them with a cut
and dried kick about property being valued
too high. 1t is reported that they can tell
whether a man has a kick in store or not
when he first enters the door. The usual in
dications are that he steps on bis lip, runs
his nose against the side of the building and
usually brings horse fiddle along to add
emphasis to his threats. His first assault is
usually made on the assessor, who it is in
timated don't fully understand the situation.
If that don't work then he gets lamentably
poor all at once and don't see how he can
pay taxes on that amount.
One little game that bobbed up
yesterday was generally pronoun.
ced dandy. A gentleman
had bought very valuable piece of land
some time in February of a corporation. He
filed the deed on the I'd of March and hence
on the LIST of March the records showed that
the land was yet owned by the corporation
and hence the corporation was expected te
pay the taxes. Some of the members of the
corporation was in the kicking row and
played vigorous role to an unappreciativt
audience.
The kicks as rule don't seem to amount tx
much toward getting change. The chic
feature about them seems to be that they
afford considerable amusement for thoss

TOUGH LUCK FOR TOUGHS.

Quite a number were heard yesterday to
express some surprise that the pickpockets
and tough element commonly with shows,
did not get in their work on Tuesday. The
fact alone was considered very strange one
and many made inquiry as to the probable
cause of cessation of operations at Wichita
1t was generally reported that big gang of
the light fingered gentry followed the show
and they were expected to turn out with rein
forcements on reaching Wichita.
The city and county authorities expecting
to be given big employment on show
day made some preparations for the trash.
Sheriff Hays. in view of the work ahead,
visited Kingman on show day in order to be
able to spot the gang. He played the role Of
private citizen that day among the boys
and was able to spot them. Somehow it ap-
pears the gang got on to the fact that the
officer had anticipated them and were just a
little afraid to commence operations in
Wichita. In fact it appears that the major
portion of them did not come to the city.
They took lay off of one day.
The local talent was under the eye of the
police and county officers who were aboard
street cars, on the show grounds and every
where and anywhere where it was feared
they would try to get in their work.

tention Of the mayor and city council was
called to the rear Of the European hotel by
some one calling himself "Friend to Wich-
ita." l, too, would like to call the attention
of the same authorities and this professed
friend of Wichita to the same place: and
most earnestly invite them to make a thor
ough inspection; and if they can find an
equal space along the same alley from Doug
las to Central avenue that is any cleaner
would like to be shown it. l have
specially employed man whose
duty it is to keep my premises
in good condition, and before took charge
of the house had constructed a sewer from
my place connecting with the Topeka avenue
sewer. Besides, if the gentleman who was so
meddlesome as to publish the card will call,
think l can convince him that he smells
something elss than an odor arising from the
rear of the European Hotel: and moreover,
that am better friend to Wichita than he
is. JOE GANDoLFo.
